Stochastic Quantization and Gauge Fixing in Gauge Theories

  • Conference paper
Book cover Stochastic Methods and Computer Techniques in Quantum Dynamics

Part of the book series: Acta Physica Austriaca ((FEWBODY,volume 26/1984))

Abstract

These lectures were supposed to focus on a specific non-compact lattice gauge model with a peculiar “stochastic” gauge fixing invented by Zwanziger. But to put this model into perspective I find it appropriate to widen the scope of these lectures somewhat.

Lectures given at the XXIII. Internationale Universitätswochen für Kernphysik, Schladming, Austria, February 20-March 1, 1984.
